members and has its own programming body, which cooperates with the Student
Government Association and the Business Manager's Office in maintaining
desirable living conditions. The Housing Office is located in Room 229 of the

Arkansas Tech University is committed to providing equal opportunities for
higher education to academically qualified individuals who are disabled. Students
with disabilities attending Tech will be integrated as completely as possible into the
university community. Tech does not offer a specialized curriculum for students
with disabilities nor does it assume the role of a rehabilitation center, but

assisted with academic program planning by the University's Disabilities
Coordinator. These services include selection of appropriate courses,
registration, consideration of classroom and building accessibility, and planning for
adequate travel time between classes, arranging for interpreters, note-taking
assistance, alternative testing, and similar types of accommodations. Per
individual needs, students who may require academic support are encouraged to
utilize tutoring and study skills assistance available to all students through the
Learning Assistance and Testing Center and within certain discipline areas.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Disabilities Coordinator serves
as the coordinator for these federal programs. The Disabilities Coordinator is

Tech has a financial aid agreement with the University of Kansas which allows Tech
students to use their financial aid to participate in
several of KU's study abroad programs. KU offers a variety of programs for a
semester or academic year in Costa Rica, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark,

Arkansas Tech University-University of Quebec Student Exchange--
Tech offers students majoring or minoring in French the opportunity to improve
their knowledge of the French language and to immerse themselves in the culture
of French Canada through an exchange program with the University of Quebec.
According to the exchange, Tech students may spend one semester or one full
year at one of the campuses of the University of Quebec. While in Quebec, they
will live either with a French-speaking family or in the university residence. Costs
include Tech tuition fees (students are exempted from the Quebec fees) as well as
transportation and living expenses. More information about the program may be
obtained from the Foreign Languages and International Studies Department.

The International Student Services Office provides support services designed
to enrich the cultural exchange between U.S. and international students. This
office actively recruits international students in order to provide the Tech campus
with a diverse population from around the world.

The office offers a wide range of services for international students, including
orientation, immigration updates, cross-cultural programming, and other support
services necessary to ease the transition of international students into the U.S.
culture.

Several established organizations receive support from the International
Student Services Office. International Friends provides an opportunity for
international students to share a relationship with U.S. host families through
occasional meals and activities. The Association for Cultural Interaction promotes
cross-cultural social and educational exchanges between international and U.S.
college students. The office also currently helps coordinate events sponsored by
the SGA Cultural Exchange Committee, which allows international students the
opportunity to "experience" Arkansas.

The International Student Services Office also supports community activities
which promote increased awareness of various cultures, such as Russellville's
Global Fest. A speaker's bureau is available for community organizations and
schools.

The primary purpose of student financial aid at Tech is to provide assistance
to students who, without aid, would be unable to attend college. Financial
assistance consists of scholarships, grants, loans, and part-time employment,
which may be offered to students singularly or in various combinations, depending
upon the degree of need. In determining the extent of a student's need, the
University must consider the financial support which may be expected from the
income, assets, and other resources of the parents and the student. Aid awards
by the University are considered supplementary to the efforts of the student's
family in assisting their children with college expenses. All awards are
administered by the Student Aid Office in accordance with the University's equal
educational opportunity policy. Application forms for all types of aid may be
obtained from the Student Aid Office in the Student Services Building, Room 117.

Scholarship Stacking PolicyAct 1180 of 1999 prohibits postsecondary institutions from using public funds in a
student aid package which exceeds the cost of attendance at that institution.
Arkansas Tech follows the Arkansas Department of Higher Education regulations
by reducing scholarship amounts which cause awards to exceed cost of
attendance. Scholarships awarded by Tech will be reduced before other
scholarships. If a student has both academic and performance scholarships from
Tech, the academic scholarship will be reduced first. If a Departmental
Performance Scholarship has to be reduced, the supervisor will be informed of the
reduction in hours of service. In the absence of direction from a private donor, all
private funds will be split equally between fall and spring semesters.

Cost of Attendance - Other adjustments to the cost of attendance allowed by federal regulations include
study-abroad programs approved for academic credit, purchase of equipment
required by all students in the same course of study, and reasonable expenses
incurred related to a student's disability. For more information on the scholarship
stacking policy, contact the Financial Aid Office: (501) 968-0399.

Computer Purchase Policy - Since the most recent federal regulations allow the cost of a computer to be added
to the cost of attendance one time during the college career of a student, the cost
of a computer and related accessories purchased no earlier than six months prior
to enrollment will be added to the student's cost of attendance budget upon receipt
of documentation of a computer purchase. This will be a one time adjustment. No
further adjustments will be made for upgrades or additional software at any time
during the student's career.

Academic scholarships will be awarded as applications are received;
therefore, students should make application at an early date since only a limited
number of these scholarships are available. Students may receive only one Tech
funded academic scholarship in any semester. The amount of total funds received
by each student will be contingent on the Arkansas Department of Higher
Education Scholarship Stacking Policy, Arkansas Act 1180 of 1999.

Students who graduate from an Arkansas non-public non-accredited school
or from a home school program must have a minimum composite ACT score of 24
and a 3.25 high school grade point average to be considered for academic
scholarship.

Students who graduate from LeFlore or Sequoyah County in Oklahoma or
Bowie County in Texas are considered in-state for fee purposes and are eligible
to receive academic scholarships.

One initial disbursement of financial aid funds will be granted without an academic
transcript on file with the Registrar, but no future financial aid disbursements will
be made until the transcript is received and evaluated. It is the student's
responsibility to make sure the transcripts are on file with the Registrar.

Students may use summer hours earned at Tech to fulfill the academic
progress requirement. Hours earned at another institution will not meet the
requirement.

A student must have received a degree by the end of ten (10) full-time
semesters for a degree normally requiring four years or six or (6) full-time
semesters for degrees normally requiring two years. Less than full-time semesters
will be counted proportionally (see chart below). All semesters attended will be
counted whether a student received financial aid during the semester or not, but
allowances will be made for semesters involving required remedial course work.

Students who have been granted academic clemency will still have their
semesters attended counted on the basis of actual attendance.

A student receiving aid may completely withdraw ONE SEMESTER ONLY and
return the next semester to receive all entitled financial aid. Upon withdrawing any
additional semesters while on financial aid, the student will not receive aid for their
next period of enrollment even if the number of semesters attended and hours
earned would allow for the receipt of financial aid funds. The next period of
enrollment hours must be equivalent to the number of hours enrolled during the
second withdrawal semester. (Example: If a student withdraws a second time
while enrolled in 12 hours, the student would have to pay for 12 hours before
becoming eligible to receive financial aid).

Required Grade Point AverageAll students must have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of
2.00 at the end of their fourth regular (fall and spring) semester or "equivalent
semester" and maintain that minimum for all remaining semesters to continue on
aid. No appeal will be granted for anyone in violation of the 2.00 GPA rule.

A student who falls below the 2.00 GPA will be reinstated upon bringing the
grade point average back up to 2.00. However, financial aid will not be paid
retroactively for any semester lost because of this requirement.

Subsequent Undergraduate Degree OR Teacher Certification

Full-time students must earn an average of twelve hours per semester.

Students must maintain a 2.00 GPA each semester.

Degree or certification must be completed by the end of four regular (fall and spring) semesters.

Students use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and list
Tech as one of the schools to receive information. Additionally, a student must
complete a Tech application for student financial aid.

DeadlineTo receive equal consideration, a student must have a complete
application on file by April 15. All remaining funds will be awarded on a first-come,
first-serve basis until depleted. Note: All requested information must be
returned to the Financial Aid Office by July 15 to ensure aid availability at the
beginning of the fall semester.

Federal Pell GrantThe Federal Pell Grant provides direct grants from the government to the
undergraduate student for educational expenses. Since this is a grant program,
the student does not have to repay the amounts received, unless the semester for
which a grant is received is not completed.

Under current guidelines, only students who have never received a bachelor's
degree are eligible for the Pell Grant. The university does not determine whether
a student is financially eligible. The amount of the grant given to an individual
student is based on a schedule provided to the university by the government. No
eligible student will be denied a grant.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant ProgramThe purpose of the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program is
to provide the means for a college education to qualified students of exceptional
need. Each grant is awarded according to federal guidelines.

Student EmploymentThe University uses student employees when practicable, but students are not
encouraged to work to an extent which would hinder their scholastic program.

Employment assignments are made under both the Federal College
Work-Study Program and the institutional Non-Work-Study Program. To be eligible
for student employment, the student must successfully pass minimum
load requirements, satisfy grade point requirements, maintain satisfactory
employer-employee relations, and have conduct and personal appearance that
reflect credit to the student and the University.

Federal Perkins Loans (formerly National Direct Student Loan) — Under
the program students may borrow up to $20,000 for undergraduate students and
$40,000 for graduate students. Annual loan limits are $3,000 for freshmen and
sophomores, $4,000 for junior and senior students, and $6,000 for graduates.

The repayment period and the interest do not begin until six months after the
student completes studies. The loan bears interest at the rate of five percent per
year and repayment of principal may be extended over a ten-year period. The
University approves and makes the loans and is responsible for collections.
Repayment is deferred for as long as a borrower is enrolled at an institution of
higher education and is carrying at least a half-time academic load. Under certain
conditions, a part or all of the loan may be canceled if the student enters the
teaching profession.

program authorizes loans up to $2,625 per year for first-year undergraduates,
$3,500 for second-year undergraduates, and $5,500 per year for undergraduates
who have completed two years of undergraduate work. Graduate students may
borrow up to $8,500 for a school year. The maximum an undergraduate student
may borrow is $23,000 which is included in the $65,500 maximum for graduate
students. Under this program a student must financially qualify for the loan which
is borrowed from a bank or other financial institution. The loan has a variable
interest rate with a 8.25 percent cap.

Repayment of principal and interest ordinarily begins six months after the
student leaves school or ceases to be at least a half-time student. The amount of
the monthly payments will be based on the total amount borrowed.

Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans for Middle-Income Borrowers — The
Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan has the same loan limits, deferments, and
interest rate as the Stafford Loan. However, the student does not have to be
financially eligible for the loan and must either pay the interest while in school or
have it capitalized for repayment with the loan principal. The total borrowed in
regular Stafford and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans may not exceed the student's
yearly maximum as shown above.

Federal PLUS Loans — Parents of students who do not qualify for the Federal
Stafford Loan may borrow annually the amount of the student's cost of education
minus other aid for each child who is enrolled at least half-time and is a dependent
undergraduate student. PLUS is limited to parents who do not have an adverse
credit history, and late payments on outstanding obligations are not to be
considered as having adverse credit history. The interest rate is variable with a
cap of nine percent, with the borrower beginning payment within sixty days of loan
disbursement. All loan checks will be written as co-payable to the parent and the
educational institution.

Additional Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan — Independent students
may borrow up to $4,000 per year for the first two years of undergraduate study
and $5,000 per year thereafter with an undergraduate maximum of $23,000.
Graduate students may borrow up to $10,000 per year with a combined
undergraduate and graduate total of $73,000. Borrowers do not have to show
need but do have to apply for financial aid and may have to undergo a credit
analysis. The interest rate is variable with a cap of 8.25 percent. Interest must
be paid beginning sixty days after disbursement of the loan unless the lender
agrees to defer it.

Mr. Tommy Memorial Student Loan Fund — Arkansas Tech has a special
loan fund known as the "Mr. Tommy Memorial Student Loan Fund." This fund was
